Chapter 2908 Ace in the Sky
Then Zhao Qingyu began to think of ways to become a pilot.
He went directly to the captain and asked him to write a letter of recommendation.
"No, you're doing well as a sonar operator, why did you switch to a pilot?"
"Because I can see that only a pilot can decide the outcome of a battle alone!"
"That may be too small!" the captain asked puzzledly.
"At least it is possible, but for other positions, it is totally impossible! Even the commander has to rely on the execution of his subordinates. Only the pilot, as long as he is awesome enough, can bomb four ships by himself!" Zhao Qingyu shouted at the top of his lungs.
When you are on the ship, you have to speak loudly to appear energetic.
"Okay, very spirited, I approve it!" The captain was moved.
Because he knew very well that the death rate of pilots was too high, much higher than that of sonar operators.
Especially in this situation where we are at a disadvantage.
Basically, the pilot is on a one-way trip.
On destroyers, the death rate is not that high.
If things really don't work, you can abandon ship and escape.
In this way, Zhao Qingyu got another letter of recommendation and went to the Aviation School.
The transition from sonar directly to aviation is a huge one.
But he soon passed the entrance test.
His eyesight, physical strength, and agility all far exceeded the qualifying standards and reached the top of the top.
"You will definitely become a top pilot!" the admissions teacher said excitedly.
in school.
In a classroom.
A dozen new students against seven or eight old students.
"My name is Xigua, and I'm the lieutenant. Here, we are your friendly big brothers!"
"If you have any questions, you can ask us."
"Now, start by introducing yourselves, where you're from, and what your name is."
Zhao Qingyu stood in the middle with great interest.
"Start with you!" Xigua pointed at the person on the far left.
"Zheng Cheng, corporal of the First Army Division." A young soldier said with a little fear.
"The voice is too soft!" Xigua said angrily immediately.
"Can't hear it at all!"
"You want to fly a plane even if you're so quiet?"
"Again!"
"Zheng Cheng..."
"next."
"Wang Yan! The Navy's Fifth Destroyer Fleet..."
"Okay, very spirited!"
When it was Zhao Qingyu's turn, he shouted directly:
"Navy XX... destroyer sonar operator Captain, Zhao Qingyu!"
The volume was so loud that everyone in the classroom had to cover their ears.
"You TM, are you looking for trouble?" Xigua immediately stepped forward, "Stand at attention!"
Zhao Qingyu stood at attention. He already had a premonition of what the other party was going to do.
"Snapped!"
Watermelon slapped him in the face.
However, the sound rang in his face, and the person who flew out was also him.
Zhao Qingyu suddenly slapped someone, and was the first to arrive after being struck last, slapping Xigua hard on the face!
"you you……"
"How dare you beat up your big brother!"
"Rebellion, this is rebellion!"
"What do you want to do?"
"Asshole, look at my rank carefully. I'm a captain, the highest one here! How dare you hit me?" Zhao Qingyu was furious.
The classroom was quiet.
indeed so.
Here, military rank comes first, not seniority.
Once the command system is lost, commanders on the battlefield will be arranged in order according to their military ranks and orders will be reissued.
Xigua and the others then became withdrawn and dared not say a word of objection.
"You should speak nicely to newcomers. Why can't you hear my voice?"
Zhao Qingyu then took the initiative.
Just like that, on the first day of school, everyone knew that Zhao Qingyu was a troublemaker, and a very capable one at that.
Sure enough, Zhao Qingyu soon had an absolute crushing advantage in various trainings. Even the old students and instructors were far inferior to him.
After only three weeks of study, he started to take simulated flights on an airplane.
WWII aircraft are not difficult.
Because of its slow speed, the maximum is no more than 500 kilometers per hour.
Slower speed is 200 kilometers per hour, or even 90 kilometers per hour, which is almost the same as driving a car.
In fact, the difficulty is driving a car.
Especially the double-wing ones, which are less difficult.
A single-wing aircraft is more difficult to fly because it has a higher speed.
Just like that, I spent one month in space, two months in practical training, and three months in graduation.
In fact, this is not an exaggeration.
During World War II, many novice pilots received less than 80 hours of training.
The actual learning time is only three months.
Of course, it basically disappeared as soon as it was put up, it was just there to make up the numbers.
But Zhao Qingyu was obviously not like that.
He was a very good student and in a simulated air combat, he shot down all three instructors.
Of course no one knew that he was holding it back to fight.
"Damn it, I should have learned to be a pilot earlier."
He thought to himself.
Relying on his divine power, he can easily fight against a hundred people at once.
Now the range of divine power is one hundred meters, which is enough in air combat.
It's not enough to put it at sea.
Because he had no control over the warship, he could only deal with it passively.
And now, he had control of the plane.
Soon, he was assigned to the aircraft carrier "Loess" and became a carrier-based aircraft pilot.
The conditions of an aircraft carrier are much better than those of a destroyer.
Especially the food for pilots, which is incomparable to that for sailors.
Coffee, steak, fruit, and various fresh drinks are all made to order.
It belongs to the highest category, on par with the captain.
Zhao Qingyu ate very comfortably and lived very comfortably in a single room.
Of course, this is based on the fact that he became the chief upon graduation.
After all, although an aircraft carrier is large, it also has many people.
However, as pilots are the core combat force, they still need to live well. It would be bad if someone snores and affects their sleep.
There is also a hammock number.
Life on an aircraft carrier is pretty good.
It’s just that I have to train regularly every day, which is a bit annoying.
But it doesn’t matter.
He can hold on.
Until this day, the Huangtu aircraft carrier had a mission, which was to provide escort.
The army wants to attack an island and needs naval escort.
Because it lost three aircraft carriers last time, it can only rely on itself for escort this time.
As a heavy aircraft carrier, it can carry 75 aircraft, including 25 fighters, bombers and torpedo attack aircraft.
This is a considerable number.
The premise is not to encounter too many enemy troops.
Soon, the aircraft carrier set sail.
It carried 3 heavy cruisers, 8 light cruisers, 12 destroyers, and 45 transport ships.
Carrying 5 ground troops, they attacked the island.
Zhao Qingyu's precise defense strategy in aircraft carrier operations
Soon, just like last time, they were discovered by the enemy's reconnaissance plane when they were halfway there.
This made Zhao Qingyu very depressed.
Why can’t we escape from the enemy’s reconnaissance aircraft every time?
Obviously, there are big problems here.
This means that they are poor in electronic defense and have shortcomings in counter-reconnaissance.
He knew about World War II, so this situation often meant that the code had been deciphered and the other party knew one's destination in advance.
Or there were spies near the departure port or submarines on the route, and they were discovered by the other side in advance.
That’s why there are targeted patrols, so that the location of our fleet can be discovered in advance every time.
Otherwise, without any intelligence, who would know to ambush on this route? The sea is vast, and now we are halfway to the target. It is impossible for the enemy to have such a large patrol range.
You must know the route and target in advance, so you can squat at a fixed point.
Zhao Qingyu understood this, and he knew that his superiors knew it too.
Sure enough, the fleet commander held an emergency meeting and ordered fighter jets to prepare to take off for escort.
Not too early, as fuel is limited.
If the departure time is too early, the plane will stay in the air for too long, and when the enemy arrives, it will be out of fuel, which will be very troublesome.
Therefore, reconnaissance must be arranged to know in advance whether the enemy will arrive.
This way, escort aircraft can be launched at the best time to fight the enemy.
Just like that, more than an hour later, a large fleet of enemy aircraft came flying over in a majestic manner, like snowflakes falling from the sky.
As soon as they appeared from the horizon, they set off the alarm.
"Air strike!"
At this time, the fleet had already discovered the incoming aircraft half an hour in advance.
Three reconnaissance planes were patrolling nearby and they discovered the incoming aircraft in advance.
20 escort planes have already taken off.
When he saw the enemy plane, he immediately rushed forward.
The reason for fighting above the fleet is to take advantage of the fleet's anti-aircraft firepower.
At the same time, it is also to avoid the situation where the planes have flown away and the enemy launches a sneak attack from other directions.
Of course, there is also the possibility of accidental injury.
There were hundreds of enemy planes in this wave.
50 fighters, 25 dive bombers, and 25 torpedo bombers.
However, the fleet aboard this aircraft carrier could only send out more than 20 fighter jets to fight the enemy.
The fleet commanders who were watching the battle below were all in a very bad mood.
Because it means that they will be outnumbered and will most likely be doomed.
Once all the escort fighters were destroyed, they would have no choice but to move forward under the enemy's bombing.
In fact, the strategic goal has failed and the only option is to retreat.
Without aircraft escort, and with the position exposed, it would be a suicidal charge.
Now, they can only hope that the plane can be successfully intercepted by force.
This is also something that can't be helped.
The navy is weak and it is stretched to its limits when it comes to doing things.
And at this time.
Zhao Qingyu has begun to display his prowess.
Others have abandoned the auxiliary fuel tanks to increase maneuverability.
But Zhao Qingyu did not give up. What he needed was more fighting time.
He began circling and shooting.
Relying on the protection of divine power, increase accuracy and dodge.
Three enemy planes were targeting him.
After several maneuvers, the opponent, relying on better experience, moved to the back of his plane and immediately began to fire wildly.
A barrage of bullets was fired at his plane.
However, to the surprise of the three enemy pilots, the bullets were like outlines and missed the target every time.
A large number of bullets just passed by.
They didn't believe this, so they moved closer.
At this moment, Zhao Qingyu made a maneuver in front of the enemy and rolled over, but the enemy was also very smart. While he was rolling, he dived down quickly.
So he did not flip onto the back of the enemy plane.
But at least he escaped from the passive situation of being attacked, and he came face to face with three enemy planes.
Soon, three planes continued to shoot frantically at him head-on.
The distance between the two sides was rapidly closing and they were about to cross each other.
At this time, Zhao Qingyu estimated that the distance between the two sides was less than 100 meters, so he began to open fire decisively.
"Bump!"
A string of bullets first hit the side of a plane's cabin.
The opponent had heavy armor and actually blocked his bullets.
He immediately changed his shooting direction and shot directly at the opponent's wing.
There were fuel tanks and engines on the wings, and the fuel tanks were soon pierced.
Thick smoke began to come out of the other plane.
At this time, the other two planes had already passed each other.
"Unfortunately, my reaction was not fast enough."
“The responsiveness should be increased.”
He then mobilized his divine power to increase his reaction speed.
In this way, Zhao Qingyu gradually mastered the trick.
He always flies towards the enemy quickly and passes by them.
As long as both sides are within 100 meters, his bullets are sure to hit the target.
The opponent's plane is just too heavy.
He used four 7.62mm machine guns, which had a high firepower density but were not powerful enough.
Not as powerful as a 20mm cannon.
He often needs to hit the vulnerable position of the enemy aircraft in order to shoot it down.
In this way, he was like an ancient feudal knight, charging towards the enemy again and again.
He never rear-ended another plane. Instead, if he saw someone attacking his own plane, he would quickly rush towards the enemy.
As one plane after another was shot down, they finally discovered that the 100 planes sent by the other side and the escort fighters were all lost.
And they lost only five.
This was naturally because Zhao Qingyu hit too fast.
You know, aerial entanglement is very time-consuming.
After all, there were no missiles in those days, and victory was decided by dogfights.
Dogfighting is naturally slow.
Both sides were moving at high speed and relying on visual aiming. Without radar-assisted computer aiming, you can imagine how inefficient they were.
Unless it’s an ace versus a rookie, the winner can be decided quickly.
And these times became Zhao Qingyu's hunting time.
Then everyone started hunting the bombers again.
Compared to agile fighter jets, bombers become sitting ducks.
They didn't even have time to attack the fleet, which had just broken through the air defense network.
Faced with the rampant fighter jets, they hurriedly dropped their bombs and began to retreat.
Bombers will not engage fighters unless their armor is thick enough.
In this way, one hundred enemy planes were completely lost in just one hour of air combat, except for a few that escaped.
Of the 25 fighter jets they sent out, only a small number were lost, a total of only 9, leaving 16.
After seeing this, the fleet commander was overjoyed.
"Great, it looks like we can still win!"
"Did you see that?"
"There was one plane that he shot down particularly well. He shot down at least 10 of them!"
"No, he shot down at least 20 planes!"
"I saw it all."
Everyone was talking excitedly.
They used telescopes to carefully observe the battle situation in the sky.
At this moment, the escaping bombers also discovered something wrong after dropping their bombs.
They were communicating with each other in a frustrated manner on the radio channel.
"This isn't right. Why are we getting shot down one after another when we have so many planes?"
"Yes, our escort fighters will soon be gone."
"We bombers have become sitting ducks!"
"Damn it, Company C must have launched a new fighter!"
"I see their models are the same as before."
"Why is it so hard for us to hit the other side, but it's so easy for the other side to hit us?"
"I saw it. There is a fighter plane. It is a devil. It is painted white. It is the white devil!"
In this way, relying on the efforts of Zhao Qingyu alone, they actually repelled the attack of hundreds of enemy planes.
The first battle is the decisive battle!
He won the title in his first battle and became a flying ace.
When Zhao Qingyu's fighter jet landed on the deck of the aircraft carrier, Zhao Qingyu immediately became a hero in everyone's eyes.
"big hero!"
"Aerial Ace!"
"You are amazing!"
The fleet commander, Lieutenant General Commander, personally led people to greet him.
"I am now signing a battlefield promotion order to promote you to major! Appoint you as the captain of the first flight!"
"Thank you, Commander." Zhao Qingyu saluted and shook hands with the other party.
